5 Distributors talk JLM - Thomas Antol

Tomas Antol, AWD Auto, JLM distributor for Slovakia

How long have you been selling JLM products?

We have been selling JLM products for 6 years now, albeit only a few units of Valve Saver Fluid as our product range was far more modest than it is today. We had a car running on LPG which is actually why we bought JLM Valve Saver Fluid; not just for our own use, but to sell to our customers as well. As time went by, we were able to start offering a full range of JLM products.

What made you decide to promote the JLM Lubricants’ brand and products?

Our company, AWD Auto has been selling car care products, oil, and additives since 2010 but we were searching for high quality products we could import to Slovakia. JLM certainly turned out
to be the right choice as their products are modern, efficient, and reasonably priced. Last year we were able to set up an e-shop designed exclusively for the JLM product range and have since launched an additional e-shop this year, located in Czech Republic, which we are very excited about.

What are your five bestselling JLM products and why?

1. JLM Diesel Particulate Filter Cleaner
A reliable and durable solution to DPF regeneration that not only uses targeted cleaning but also preventative cleaning of the exhaust path as well. This is a popular product which we continue to receive very positive customer feedback on.

2. JLM Diesel Extreme Clean
Thanks to smoke tests on vehicles this product has become very popular in Slovakia. It costs more than some other brands, but it really does work! We receive a lot of positive feedback from customers telling us that JLM Diesel Extreme Clean was instrumental in their vehicle passing its emissions’ test.

3. JLM Diesel Turbo Cleaner
This turbo cleaner is now very popular in our country thanks to its specific use. Customers buy
it as a preventative product or when they want to address turbo problems. Again, we receive positive reviews from customers sharing the good news that when they use it on their vehicle’s turbo the problems disappear.

4. JLM Diesel Injector Cleaner
This product is a firm customer favourite. We sponsored the Auto Slalom Show Race which gave us the opportunity to offer it free so customers could try it with no obligation. It has since become one of our best sellers.

5. JLM Diesel DPF ReGen Plus
This is a highly regarded preventative solution that is offered at a good price.
